FPGAs are field programmable gate arrays which basically means they are reconfigurable hardware chips. FPGAs have found applications in different industries and engineering fields from the defence, telecommunications to automotive and several others but little application in the maker’s world. Mostly, as a result of being largely difficult and high cost as compared to the likes […]

Intel Introduces Loihi – A Self Learning Processor That Mimics Brain Functions
https://www.electronics-lab.com/intel-introduces-loihi-self-learning-chip-mimics-brain-functions/
Intel has developed a first-of-its-kind self-learning neuromorphic chip – codenamed Loihi. It mimics the animal brain functions by learning to operate based on various modes of feedback from the environment. Unlike convolutional neural network (CNN) and other deep learning processors, Intel’s Loihi uses an asynchronous spiking model to mimic neuron and synapse behavior in a much […]
Overclocked Intel CPU draws 1kW
https://www.electronics-lab.com/overclocked-intel-cpu-draws-1kw/
by Thomas Scherer @ elektormagazine.com The impressively powerful i9-7980XE CPU from Intel boasts not just 18 cores and 36 threads but also an unlocked clock multiplier. The spec was clearly an open invitation to Roman Hartung who has something of a reputation when it comes to overclocking processors. In tests he was able to crank […]
Inside Intel’s first product: the 3101 RAM chip held just 64 bits
https://www.electronics-lab.com/inside-intels-first-product-3101-ram-chip-held-just-64-bits/
Ken Shirriff takes a look inside the 3110 RAM chip from Intel. He writes: Intel’s first product was not a processor, but a memory chip: the 31011 RAM chip, released in April 1969. This chip held just 64 bits of data (equivalent to 8 letters or 16 digits) and had the steep price tag of […]

In the past year, Intel announced the low power development board “tinyTILE” which was built based on Intel Curie Module, offering quick and easy identification of actions and motions, features needed by always-on applications. tinyTile was designed for use in wearable devices and rapid prototyping. It is a 35 x 26 mm board and has […]
Analyzing the vintage 8008 processor from die photos
https://www.electronics-lab.com/analyzing-vintage-8008-processor-die-photos/
Ken Shirriff writes: The revolutionary Intel 8008 microprocessor is 45 years old today (March 13, 2017), so I figured it’s time for a blog post on reverse-engineering its internal circuits. One of the interesting things about old computers is how they implemented things in unexpected ways, and the 8008 is no exception. Compared to modern […]
